Love this!
Favorite special has to be the cartoon mouse version of Twas the Night Before Christmas. I love it because it's so sweet and sentimental plus Joel Grey voices father mouse!
My all time favorite holiday movie has got to be White Christmas. I could watch that in June and feel the spirit of the seasons.
Others include:
Home Alone
Elf
The Holiday
Holiday Inn
It's a Wonderful Life
Christmas Eve on Sesame Street
Muppet Christmas Carol (which is in its 20th anniversary edition this year, making me feel terribly old)

There are so many!! I know I'll forget something.
I wouldn't feel it was Christmas without watching these two specials: A Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas (animated). One special that I just loved when my kids were young was A Muppet Family Christmas. I'm not looking forward to the day when my old home recorded VHS tape and/or VCR give up the ghost and I will not longer be able to enjoy this favorite.
As far as movies go I always seem to be drawn to Elf. Will Ferrell is convincingly childlike. The Santa Clause, Home Alone and Home Alone 2, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story and It's a Wonderful Life are all favorites. Does Nightmare Before Christmas count? This doesn't really count as a Christmas movie, but my favorite movie set during the holidays is Die Hard.

Do a transfer! I transferred mine to DVD a few years ago with a special VHS/DVD player. You can also get a relatively inexpensive device to transfer to a computer these days, and then burn to disc.
They do have a DVD version floating around out there but they cut out Fozzie's duet with the snowman and I think at least one other song due to copyright issues.

We've watched that on Christmas before!

Our family regulars are Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Elf and Home Alone. We'll sit down a couple of Sunday afternoons during the season and watch them.
We'll usually get in a viewing of The Grinch and Charlie Brown.
My personal favorites are It's A Wonderful Life and Love Actually.

Miracle on 34th Street has been my favorite Christmas movie since I was about 2 years old. I have to watch it every year.
Charlie Brown Christmas. I even have the soundtrack which I listen to constantly at the holidays.
Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol was shown on WPIX 11 in NYC when I was a kid. It's pretty obscure now and not many people know about it. In fact, when my uncle saw it in my CD collection he went nuts.
Christmas Eve on Sesame Street is from 78 or 79. I still have the copy my dad taped off tv for me. I had great songs and one is even done in sign language for Linda, Bob's girlfriend who was deaf. My mom taught me the entire sign language part of the song. I don't remember that part but I do remember the words.
My new favorites are the SNL Christmas special which is airing this Wednesday night and The Office UK Christmas specials. That one still gives me goose bumps at the end and I've seen it many times.
